I Survived my First Earthquake, Jamaica Flower & I am Really Excited for Conference!

Survived my First Earthquake, Jamaica Flower & I am Really Excited for Conference!

This last week went by pretty fast, but I like that because it means that we are working hard. On Tuesday I survived my first earthquake! I was studying at my desk when I felt the building start to sway back and forth. At first, I just thought that I was dehydrated or something. Then the door started to rattle, and I thought that some kids were just playing. I finally realized that it was an earthquake when the ladies on the floor just above us started running down the stairs screaming, ´´ It´s tremoring! It´s tremoring!  Get down the stairs! I don´t want to die in this manner!!´´ That´s my translation from spanish to english, but it was so much funnier in spanish! Occasionally somebody will try to talk to me in english, and I get really confused because I am so used to spanish. I have to sit and think of how to reply in spanish. I think that is a sign that I am learning spanish little by little.

We have a family that we have been teaching, and that the other elders before us were teaching back in January. They are Lorena and Raul. Usually after a month or two, investigators are dropped if they aren´t going to get baptized and aren´t meeting the goals to be called ´progressing investigators´ but they have been progressing and going to church. The week before last, they didn´t want to get baptized yet because they wanted to learn more about the church. We decided that we would finally have to drop them....

Obedience Brings Blessings & We Need Blessings Right Now & 3 New Members of the Church on Our Side to Fight the War! P.S. TWO Month Mark.

Elders' Hill & Nunez Apartado

Hey,

This last week actually moved faster than the last few weeks have. I realized that yesterday was the two month mark since I went into the MTC. For this week, I studied Alma 5 which talks about our spiritual checklist that we need to be good in this life and be able to make it back to Heaven and meet our goal of Eternal Life. Elder Nunez is a fun guy and we have good times together. He teaches me, and I teach him, and that is how life is. Nobody knows everything, but together we know everything that we need to do to have a happy life.

Yesterday we had 3 confirmations in our ward. That means we have 3 new members of the Church on our side to fight the war. Read MORE of Elder Hill's letters here!

My First Baptism on the Mission & We Can Eat an Elephant, But it Only Works if We Do it ONE Bite at a Time.

Elders' Hill & Nunez with Ana, Salvador y nino

     During Salvador y Ana´s baptismal interview, I was able to learn the right hand of ‘Nearer My God to Thee’ in the regular hymnbook, speaking of piano. We really can do anything if we just pray and ask. There is a scripture in 3 Nephi 13 I think, and it talks about how Father already knows the desire of our hearts before we pray, but he is just waiting to hear from us. (8 Be not ye therefore like unto them, for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of before ye ask him.)

Let us all make good goals that are inspired of the Lord and you will be amazed at what can happen.

     We had an hermana chase us down one night after an appointment. It isn´t very often that we are chased down by people, especially for good reasons. This sister was crying about some problems in her family that had recently occurred. We shared a brief message with her, prayed, and left her our testimonies that only through the restored gospel of Jesus Christ can we become clean for our sins and become truly happy and have our burdens lifted. We met her again yesterday and she was better. She had embraced what we had left her and is ready to hear the gospel. The work moves on ever so rapidly.
